Heath Hypnotherapy

Welcome to Heath Hypnotherapy West London and congratulations on finding HypnoBirthing® classes

My name is Alex Heath and I had such an amazing experience using hypnobirth techniques for the birth of my son 8 years ago that it inspired me to find out more about hypnosis and retrain as a Clinical Hypnotherapist.

You’ve probably found this page because you are interested in learning more about this powerful program that enables women world wide to have calm and comfortable natural births.

Here are some of the common questions mums ask about the course:

Is HypnoBirthing for me?

If you are considering a calm, comfortable, easier and natural birth then yes. People often assume that HypnoBirth is an ‘alternative’ antenatal method but actually it is a common sense method and is so effective that it is currently being trialled by the NHS.

Can I find out more about HypnoBirthing?

Yes! The next free taster session is at Mothercare KewSaturday 28th February 4pmThe event is free but booking is required. Just call or text 07739 849731.All those attending receive 15% off the group course fee.

Does HypnoBirthing mean a pain free birth?

Not necessarily, but the course aims to empower mums and dads with techniques that if practiced daily can make natural birth an easier and enjoyable experience.

Will hypnosis during birth mean that I am out of control?

Often our experience and knowledge of hypnosis is informed by what we may have seen on TV or stage and because of this we can be concerned that we will act strangely or against our will. Self hypnosis techniques are nothing like this. When practiced and mastered they can empower a person to control different systems within the body from relaxation levels to blood pressure. In this sense hypnosis is an incredibly empowering technique for those who practice it. It is often assumed that under hypnosis people lose consciousness however this is not the case (although people often appear ‘out of it’) and it is always possible for a person to break their hypnotic state whenever they choose.

What if I have a C Section?

Read about Danielle and Darren's experience when a surprise breach meant a change of plan to the water birth they had envisioned.

'I loved the sessions we did with Alex, every week i became more and more excited by my impending labour, I couldn't wait to feel those early contractions and my husband and I had a very definite plan about when we would use each stage, when we would leave for the hospital, how we would welcome our baby into the world..'

What is the best time to take a HypnoBirthing course?

There is no ‘best time’ as the benefits will be felt at anytime during pregnancy. However at 28 weeks there is plenty of time to take the 5 week course and also have time to practice the hypnobirth techniques afterwards too.

What is the difference in a 2 day intensive Hypnobirth course and a 5 week HypnoBirthing course?

The Marie Mongan Method that I teach is only available as a 5 week course. The reason for this is because the hypnobirth techniques can take a while to learn and bed in. A 5 week course allows time for practice and feedback in between the weeks so I am able to be sure that mums feel really confident about what they have learnt and how to apply that to their birth experience.

Where and when does the course take place?

I currently offer a Saturday morning course with sessions that are spread out over 5 weeks.

These sessions are held at a private residence in Hounslow, West London in a purpose built therapy studio every Saturday morning from 10am to 12.30pm.

This venue is close to Twickenham Rugby ground and is walking distance from both Whitton and Hounslow BR Stations. There is plenty of free parking outside for anyone driving. Click here for a map of where we are.

Group classes in Ealing are no longer available but this area is still served for private classes.

This is where the group classes are held. A comfortable, purpose built studio in Hounslow, West London.

How much is a HypnoBirth course?

The group course fee is £295. The private class fee is £395.

The course includes the official Marie Mongan HypnoBirthing® book, Rainbow Relaxation CD and all course materials.

Telephone support and additional sessions are always available for those who need it.
